I wonder if the next to be translated will be fanbook 9 or SSC3 or H5Y v3.

I am personally looking forward to some long form translations like one of the latter.

My expectation is that they’ll either do (H5Y3 -> FB9 -> SSC3 -> FB10) or (FB9 -> H5Y3 -> SSC3 -> FB10).

@Coelodonta said in Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! Manga Gets TV Anime in 2027:

"The manga's ninth and final volume will ship on September 16."

This seems like the most important bit of news. We get two more volumes.

In any case, I wonder how far the adaptation's going to get. It did only take 5 volumes for them to make it official.

Looks like Overlap has released a new version with a different illustrator now so hopefully this might be able to rescued now.

I normally don‘t read such novels, but this one got me quite interested. Leah is really cool! Blanc and Lyla as well. Now I would also like to read the manga.

now, now ... Will JNC add the whole series into their catalog too!?
or will be still only on BookWalker (dot) com ...

it still neither on Amazon Kindle, nor Kobo, neither (Apple) iBooks store ...

Seems j-novel club added the first three volumes here. Now hoping they add the rest. I do have them already from bookwalker but I don't mind double dipping, at least now I don't have to go through all that hassle to read them on my kobo (or re-read them when the occasion appears)...

3 each month is their current plan.

It's hard to know whether it's an author or a publisher that's dragging out a series, and if it's the author why they're doing it (money, attention, lack of ideas for a new series or after story, etc.)

Failure Frame drove me away when it reached a perfect point to end the main story arc, but then the author threw in a reset to drag it out (forever?).

I'd much rather read the Skeleton Knight or Realist Hero approach where the author finishes their arc then starts something new with the story. Otherwise it turns into kid cartoon shows where the bad guy escapes every episode so they can come back next week to sell new toys.

And now it's out! Full deets at: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/10356/the-ryuo-s-work-is-never-done-volumes-1-3-discussion?_=1784144394851

@karasutengu totally fine, just pointing out saying "quick for a manga" isn't relevant here, since it isn't a manga original series.
